He said: “When the club first introduced Jaggy MacB, about two seasons ago, they were looking for someone to take on the role but it ended up going to someone from the sponsors behind it.

“Then I noticed on the club’s Twitter feed that they were again looking for someone to do the job and I knew this was my chance.

“They were asking for people interested to submit videos, so I got my mum and sister to film me dressed up in various costumes.

“When I went into the club to first try the outfit on, I met some of the people from the sponsors MacB who told me more about it.” It means match days are now going to be very busy for Jay, who says he was attracted to the job by his love of dressing up.

He said: “I’ll be greeting fans as they come into the stadium, having photographs taken with the kids, walking round the stands and shaking kids’ hands.

“At half-time, I’ll be entertaining the crowd while the half-time draw is going on and sometimes, after the match, the young fans get to meet the players, so I’ll be on hand for that as well. But I should still have time to get back to my seat and see the majority of the match in between.”

But Jay will have his work cut out if he’s going to ensure that Jaggy MacB joins the ranks of Scotland’s most notorious mascots.

Here’s a look at how Scotland’s biggest clubs go about entertaining their fans.
